A local business is giving away 10 firearms through a raffle to benefit the Straughn High School student who currently needs a bone marrow transplant.

Traci Flowers of Andalusia Armory said she has been friends with Gordie Cartwright’s mom, Christy, since she owned Curves and she wanted to help.

Cartwright was diagnosed about two years ago with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

Since then, he has taken oral chemo and has exhausted all medications for this type of leukemia.

He was matched with his sister, Ginee, to get a bone marrow transplant.

The $10 raffle tickets are on sale now.

A designated firearm will be given away each day for 10 days, including:

• Diamond Back DB380 Pistol;
• DPMS Panter Oracle 5.56 rifle;
• EAA Witness Pavona 9 mm pink;
• Mossberg 930 Waterfowl 12 gauge;
• Remington 783 308 with scope;
• EAA witness Pavona 9 mm purple;
• Remington 870x shotgun 20 gauge;
• Remington 700 ADL Syn 270;
• Savage Mark II-F 22LR;
• Ruger American Ranch STD 300 AAC Flat Dark Earth.

The drawings will be held Nov. 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and Nov. 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.
